Thread Name: BS: Banana Boat parodies
Subject: RE: BS: Banana Boat
I started to think about adding verseses and strayed in to jamaica farewell which I think is a different song but for what its worth Dole Banana farewell
Portsmouth way where the Seas are grey
And the sun shines rarely on the mountain top
The took a trip on a Banana Ship
And when they reached Nab Tower they made a stop

Chorus
But It's sad to say we're not under way
For us it may be the end of the day
Our head is down we may be sinking down
In the Spithead approaches to Portsmouth town

There'll be bananas everywhere
and the Cowes on the island will have there fill
from Spithead up to Southampton
and Pineapples floating off Portland bill

Chorus
Down on the Solent you can hear
Sirens screaming as the big tugs they toil
Trying to keep that ship afloat
And the thought of the salvage it makes them smile
